The actor and producer/writer/director have worked together on various films from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Stardust to X-Men: First Class.

Vaughn was first rumoured to be directing Disney's first Star Wars film after his surprise exit from X-Men: Days of Future Past. Mark Millar claimed that he had made the move to work on the Secret Service movie.

Reps for Vaughn declined to comment on his alleged Star Wars involvement to Digital Spy.
